Whirlpool’s treasure chest of a freezer

For large families that need to store plenty of food and maximise shopping advantages with BOGOF offers, the trusty chest freezer continues to be the reassuring rock of stability for all seasons, which can be placed virtually anywhere in the home.

Today’s chest models have benefited greatly from technological advances and aesthetic updates. Their very nature dictates that they will always be the epitome of the ‘white box’, but that is their eternal appeal. There is something oddly comforting in knowing that you can place enough food in that big cavity to see out a major cataclysm or more generally make life easier in a recession.

Whirlpool’s tough and rock solid AFG 070NF E-AP chest freezer might not be as sexy or elegant as some of its sisters in the cooling appliance portfolio, but chest freezers were never built to be fancy. They are the reliable long haul specialists of refrigeration that carry their own special credentials.

This freestanding model’s total net capacity of 204 litres is backed by an impressive ‘A+’ class energy rating and new electronic controls which offer precision temperature setting at the touch of a button. The appliance also includes an energy saving eco mode for use when the freezer is only partially loaded, as well as a fast freeze option and alarm functions.

Another great benefit of the AFG 070NF E-AP chest freezer is the ‘Never Defrost’ technology that eliminates manual defrosting and maintains optimal performance at all times.

Boasting a counterbalanced lid system ensures that they always close with panache and there is not fear of it slamming shut unexpectedly.

Juliana Sado, Brand Marketing Manager says: “Our AFG 070NF E-AP is a solid and reliable member of our cooling appliances range. Not having to defrost it is a huge bonus and as is its generous amount of storage space and the new electronic controls ensure precise temperature settings and ever important energy savings.”
